I've now got it behind OpenRouter on Bedrock and Vertex and am rotating in K2 and Qwen more and more as I learn how to get the most of them because the silent degredation and work avoidance heuristics are not a variable I need in an already difficult expectation management regime to my stakeholders.

At the rate the Chinese are going it won't be long before I can shake the dust off my sandals of this bullshit for good.



Qwen3 coder is very good and a tenth of clcaude price on openrouter. And has a :free version for light usage.

I still revert to gemini pro 2.5 here and there and claude for specific demanding tasks, but bulk token go trough open weight model at the moment.
